Done a bit of run training and weight is slowly dropping off , down to 14- 4

Need to buy a new bike, particularly as mountain bike has been stolen!!!, needed a road bike as last one never got replaced after being stolen 3 years ago!, think I might wire the new one to the mains to prevent theiving bastards having it.

Have just entered Outlaw Half so plan is steady regular training upto Xmas on bike then focus on a couple of my regular half marathon races in Jan, Feb and March and then back out on the bike for March and April.

Hopefully weight will have dropped to 13 st by then

Off to Canada in a few hours for 10 days so hopefully make use of the hotel pool and lake Ontario _________________2014 - training again
2015 - the return to HIM races and longer !

Have started off with some regular six mile runs, planning to get a swim in tonight, IF I can get out of work early.

need to sort out a new road bike, but off to Canada next month and have a few race entries to pay for so the bike may have to wait a few weeks._________________2014 - training again

Although we all know it is, as I am not running until October due to ankle injury my training consists of bike, bike and then a bit more bike, swimming is off the agenda this week as ankle was sore when pushing off the wall

The bike training appears to be paying dividends and I am approaching a reasonable level of fitness again where a two hour bike session is now fun and doesnt mean I cant walk the next day.

I now need to sort out a new road bike for IMUK, cant decide on whether to splash out on Carbon with all the trimmings or lower spec bike and save some ££ for coaching sessions etc._________________2014 - training again

Today was the great north run (not that I was doing it) but one of my employees was and she did a respectable 2:08, if she would come out with us we could get her under 2hrs but she doesnt believe she can!

I was supposed to be doing warrington half but due to ankle injury from wednesday I have rejigged my plans and no running now until atleast 1st October.

Another bike session today and ankle is OK until I stand on peddles for climbs so everything will be seated climbs for two weeks, can only impove my cycling anyway.

Currently considering plans for next year., IMUK is entered, possibility of Outlaw 3 weeks before and then IMWales couple of weeks later, not sure what Mrs JP's views will be tho _________________2014 - training again
